Hey Dolfan! You haven't felt me a troll before, and we talk a lot!

The poster who is freaking has turned the whole thing into an issue over camp, etc. It was NEVER about camp.  I still think her comment was awful, and I know she knows it was, too.  That's why she is still carrying on over this.  She likes the kids in camp all day, and gets them back exhausted at night.  And I asked an honest question, why have kids? I love kids a heap, and I can't stand mothers who are so blatantly thrilled to get rid of them as much as possible.  And her wording implied such - while, for instance, your post was the complete opposite. You are sending your little girl to camp for HER benefit, etc.  Its very obvious in the tones.  Naturally this Mom is NOW trying to sound like June Cleaver, and maybe she is. But her post was NOT.  Would have had less repercussions if she had just said, "Hmmmm...maybe that didn't sound good. Didn't mean it like that, but...", but she meant it the way she said it, and I think parents like that are awful. Is it my business? Yup, sure is, cause her kids are in this world with my kids, and this is one messed up world right now.  These kids all need help.  Many parents have such "fake" relationships with their kids, and that's so sad.  And then she justifies these camps like what on earth would the poor kids do at home? sit by her feet?  Huh??? Having your kids at home in the summer does NOT mean they sit at your feet. That's ridiculous!  I lived for the summer - out in the yard, playing baseball, fishing, swimming, hop scotch - the poster also acts like her kids would be deprived were it not for an organized activity every day. Double sad, and just trying to justify her original post, which she obviously did not put much thought into.  Yeah, sure, just posting about her kids, right? Would she have given more thought on a dictaphone post??

    Dolfan you are so far off base you are foolish. I don't troll these boards and don't come her

    that often. I am baby-sitting and I can be on the computer on and off today.  Can't work.   I don't know what you are talking about trolling when there is a discussion going on with people's taste in men.   You are LOL with your "wisdom" and "insight" on trolls. 


    PS:  Sorry if you like girlie men.  Didn't mean to offend you.  It is what it is and the unisex look is okay for some, male and female.


     


    Come on, guys, its just a smelly old troll! Ignore her! Too much time on her troll hands!!

    Thank you, Dolfan. Very succinct and correct.
    nm
    Dolfan, your problem is you always think its the SAME person, and its not. Its a lot of different
    women who feel generally the same way about issues that YOU disagree with. You call everyone the same troll, and I know for a fact that one post you slammed me on for being a troll, there were like 3 or 4 different women in the same thread.  You are just lumping anyone who tends towards different ideas, whether about work, or about parenting, or even about hot actors, as one horrible person set on tormenting you. I assure you, its not that, and there are many, many people on this board with differing opinions - not just one person.  You know I used to even jump in so many posts and either defend you, or urge you to calm down. You go off all the time, and even turned on me BIG time once, flaming me to a crisp, and you had no idea it was me.  I just gave a different side on a thread, and you came in and crucified me, and it was ME.  You've done it to others, too, always jumping to the conclusion that its one person, and a troll.
    whatever dolfan. touched a nerve apparently.

    don't let the truth ruin a perfectly good Sunday.  that is if you actually can absorb the truth of my posts which are probably perfectly clear if one is not so angry they can't see straight like you are at this point.  go back to dreamland my friend and stay where it's all comfy and cozy and no one disputes your FINAL WORD!!!!(hopefully)


    PS:  We all state opinions here and not all of us are "liars" or "trolls" because they don't agree with your opinion.  Meditate on that.


     


    got it, DUH. havent typed a Pap in forever.

    Are these as good as Bose? I havent tried either, SM
    but was thinking of getting the Bose.
    awww dolfan. call in the troops. cute.
    you lost though.  you resorted to name calling when you could not make your argument.  sweet.  i love it when i see people like you who believe you know something and when logic proves they don't resort to name calling.  it says lots about you and your character. 
    What platform do you use? I know thus far I havent been able to use the laptop for one of my jobs be
    That's when I pack my "portable" computer. It works..
    I havent had insurance in many, many years, I pay cash and like SM
    the poster below I usually get a 20% discount, but you have to call around to find out who will give it to you. My DD had to have an MRI last year and I got a big discount on that too by calling around.

    Originally, insurance was intended for hospitalization, not regular doctor visits. I dont know how it evolved into this monster we have now, but it sure has driven the cost up.
    Double yawn. Post something we havent heard

    Unfortunately having been switched to Amherst I havent found this to be the case. I am on multiple
    accounts and running out of work and also no extra for holiday pay or weekends so if this is the way MQ plans to go do you honestly think this is better. MQ is pushing TAT to the hilt and that means overloading accounts as they are and of course as always when you do that quality will suffer for sure. So I have not seen this bright side you talk about and others have said the same thing that have been switched.
    Eewwww... you don't talk like an MT, you talk like mangement. Ick. (n/m)
    :p
    So you felt the need to be at the top?

    Let me give you a little advice and that is find a hobby.  I like to read, swim, and go to the beach.  Do you have anything that you do for fun?  Defending yourself now is a little too late after the original post of bashing MTs and categorizing.  A lot of us really do not feel compelled to post our education, years of experience, etc. to feel above all.  The answer to not wanting to deal with MTs really is as the other poster states to quit.  Why not just try MTing again, it may boost your energy level, and you won't feel like you have to deal with the MTs you speak of in your OP from the other day.  If you are not new to this board, then you should already know that any QA that posts here usually gets a backlash because they almost always come off as greater than thou.  Good luck to you, and I do hope you find your way soon. 


    So, you would have felt safer...
    with Saddam in power?  Try to think beyond the simple.  Have a bigger vision.  Please, give me solutions to this problem.  How would you propose we defeat Islamic radicalism?  There are those who saw this coming 20+ years ago.  The 10+ years leading up to WWII were similar.  Europe chose to ignore the Nazi thread, hoping it wouldn't touch them.  This isn't going away.  It has to be changed fundamentally.  You want to put out fires, and there are those who want to clear the brush and prevent the fire. 
    We felt that way about our house, too.
    I absolutely hated living here because it was older, shabby and way too small for us. However, we've been working on it for the past year a little bit at a time. We're regulars at the hardware store now. The only big thing we did was to build an addition on the back of it because we came into some cash, but we've doubled the value of the house. You don't have to be that drastic, but a nice coat of paint and some reorganizing does wonders.

    I hated renting. It was overpriced, the landlords were unreasonable, and we were always stuck with 6-12 month contracts.
    Got it thanks all - felt so dumb and my
    teenager wasn't home. 
    That is exactly how I felt until several years ago
    I started reading books on Buddhism and Hinduism.... I grew up in a very strict Pentecost church. I hated religion then. I believe in my heart that God simply wants us to have faith and to believe in his existence, and in loving one another and caring about all that he created. I believe in my own personal opinion that he would be very disapproving of the division in religion.. I don't believe this is what he intended.

    Great books to read if you are intersted.. send an e-mail .
    There are enough changes I felt it was worth it.
    Can't list all the changes - but as in any profession - things change.
    And to think....I actually felt bad when they banned me...
    I just used a different email, but then I was very careful and didn't post a lot of things I wanted to say for fear of being banned again. ->sap<-
    Absolutely. Felt this way for a while. The only way out of this
    type of thing right now at least for me (I decided recently) was to find the most honest (well let's say that is 97% honest) on the line counting, the best benefits, and those who know me by name, where there is always work and where I do not have to worry Big Brother is over my shoulder. There are several MTs on my account making 1500 to 2K lines a day, so it is possible to get the kind of money we used to including the incentive... at least a big percentage. I found this after realizing the hospitals by me outsourced overseas, no more onsite hospital job for me, and after working for 1 giant MTSO and cheated, 1 little MTSO and cheated (for 2 years I might add), and then trying out a handful of positions last fall. Finally got the place I mentioned above and I am holding on tight. BTW: I wanted to work for Michael's arts and crafts and get out of the house, but guess what I was under and over qualified! Plus with the price of gas and clothes these days, (and daycare) this MT gig still beats going into the workforce at least for me.
    So using me as an example:
    1. you are not alone.
    2. put your priorities on paper and
    3. you have to go through a lot of trying out first-hand different places and situations and find what fits you best. It will never be 100%, but it beats sitting on a low line count and having high BP. Good luck to you!
    I felt the same way but in 1980,
    when I got into the world of MT. I had HIGH hopes that this was a smart career move for me. Unfortunately, when we were let go by the hospitals in the late 1980's to work at home for MTSO's, that is when our respect and low wages began. I do not blame the MTSO's, however, as I do know the lowest bidder gets the hospital accounts. The hospitals do not care that much about quality; they mainly want a low rate and a fast turnaround. Sad but true. The MTSO's do not have a fast track to wealth. I think the ones making the big bucks are those who sell the MT course and promise the moon!
    I tried that, but I could not function. I felt
    dizzy and had a headache all the time.  I'm wearing bifocal glasses right now and I have never adjusted to them either.  Last doctor suggested I just get monofocal contacts and get readers at the drugstore.
    Troll!
    my original post regarding this is gone, so here I go again! In a nutshell, what I stated before...WOMEN should dress like WOMEN, girls like girls, etc. I am not saying that just because one reaches a certain age, thats it, no more sexy clothes, clevage, etc. I am saying, though, that WOMEN should not dress like GIRLS in order to look sexy and feel sexy.  I am 36, and dont dress like my 14 YOD...and I look dang sexy sometimes. But, I dont wear booty shorts, belly shirts, etc, etc...personally, I dont think that looks good on anyBODY... no matter how small, tall, big, short you are...I guess my point is women should dress like women, not girls...dont know how else to say it... Good day...
    Obviously a troll
    or other troublemaker.
    A troll?

    Troll (SM)
    Just ignore the troll, posters.

    Information has been reported to AOL for violation of their Terms of Service.

    These individuals who post in this manner are usually very bored, angry, friendless, and anti-social (as we can all agree upon).

    They are here to simply cause problems. Just ignore them and they will go away out of sheer boredom. If you will report the posts, I will delete them.

    Really, I truly feel sorry for someone who has nothing better to do, don't you?

    And yet here's another troll above...
    Boy, they're really coming out from underneath their bridges tonight aren't they?  LOL...Shoo troll!
    Go away little troll.
    No one cares a fig about what you have to say.  Now poof!  Be gone you little gnat!
    who is the troll?
    you, on the other hand, are calling Miss Webster a troll for no apparent reason, you are using the head bash picture to reply to Miss Webster. Miss Webster is trying to reason with the OP in stating she did in fact not pass the tests and that is part of the problem. How does that make her a troll? Can you now see how your post makes you look like a troll and you are speading judgment?
    what a troll you are!
    Please reread your message.  I am an i d i o t? (and you must have posted twice because this is a "bad" word on the board).  Bad integrity?  I think you should look in the mirror first before trolling.  But hey, this is America and you are entitled to your opinion.  Have a nice day. 
    No, she's just being a troll.
    This is the type of MT who makes our profession look bad.

    No matter what you say to her, she'll have some answer that she obviously thinks is too cute. She'll never agree because her sole purpose for posting is to get attention. Good or bad...it's still attention.

    I really wish the moderators could ban people for just being troublemakers.
    Jan, seriously, let it go. It's a troll, just let it be.
    All of your ranting isn't going to deter him/her; quite the opposite.
    maybe i am just a troll
    and like to get sh*t started.
    I always felt like it was a support position

    and would, if it was appropriate, perhaps give hints on how I use my macros to avoid that particular pitfall, so I was not just handing them what was wrong, but was actively working on helping out with tools, instead of just citicism.  Some folks dig it, some not so much. 


    Yes, I made that statement because that's how I felt after
    dealing with the public all day long.  I'll readily admit that I'm an introverted personality.  I get exhausted after being around a lot of people and chaos, which is what my outside the home job was.  That's why I chose to isolate myself then.  Now, however, after working at home all day, the last thing I want to do is to be isolated in the evenings and on weekends.  That's why my social life is better now than it used to be.  That's all I was saying.  I know there are MTs out there who work home alone all day and spend most of their free time alone, too.  That's doesn't have to be the case.
    Should be felt like saying that. It has been a very long day at the keyboard.
    :
    You've got that right... If only my joints felt...

    like they did when I was 9.  For what reason could a normal healthy child need chiropractic care?  My kids are around that age and they sit on the floor, sleep on the floor at sleepovers, jump up in 2 seconds off the floor, and feel like a million bucks in that department. 


    I once saw a show about a chiropractor who was rounding up kids from housing projects (with the permission from their not-so-bright parents), letting them hvae cookies and milk, and then bussing them all back home.  They guy was billing Medicaid and raking in millions in fraudulent money.  Sounds to me like this woman is doing something similar and pocketing the money.


    Not sure exactly kind of just knew, he's the only one I have ever felt that way about - sm
    I was 29 and had had a few long-term relationships already so all I can say is it was a different feeling. I'd pin it down to after 1 month of dating, we were at the Preakness, he was a little drunk and telling me how much he loved me (first time), etc. Kind of a magic moment believe it or not....got engaged 4 months later, and married 10 months after that. Been together over 10 years now, married 9.5.
    I finally did it and it felt great! Lol.. I had
    a computer that was a piece of JUNK. My husband and kids heard me almost daily yelling at the computer it that it was going to go flying out the window. Well, this morning it tripped and fell out the 2nd story window into the backyard and is now in computer heaven. My new computer is now about 1000 times faster than the other one. No errors, web pages are opening up when I try and open them up, files are opening instead of saying not found, etc. May the old one rest in peace.
    I too felt like it was an impossible career
    Now 8 years later, I'm glad I stuck with it.  Before working at home, I worked for two years at a local hospital and that really helped me build my work experience and really helped when I went out on my own.  By working at the hospital, I became familiar with the local docs and eventually got my own accounts with them.  I had to let those accounts go because I moved, and now I am working for a small MTSO for the timebeing.  I had no problem getting this job.  I had applied to many different places and was overwhelmed with job offers.  If you stick with it, it gets easier.  You've invested time and money into this, have patience and see it through.
    I haven't felt sweet lately

    Thanks once more.  I've felt that I'm tainting my spirit by being so angry and having to fight daily.  But the arrogance and power of this school makes me keep going.  I keep thinking that I could be transcribing rather than writing angry letters if I had just researched the schools.  Live and learn.  But again, thanks for the encouragement.

    You know, I felt exactly like I had been "thrown off the island"

    I never watch "Survivor" or any other reality TV show but I have heard enough about it to know how it works. It saddens me that our young people are growing up with that kind of example - plotting behind other people's backs, ganging up on one member of the "team", always being out for number one.


    Maybe "Leave It To Beaver" and "The Andy Griffith Show" were unrealistic, but at least they had good role models and discussed issues such as being kind to others, being truthful, and being a good person.


    I know there are good people in the world - I just wish there were more of them.


    So many posted on this and felt opposite of what you are saying
    What you basically are doing is to fraud the company, gov and such to find a way to tell a person what to do because she cannot live on retirement after she took it, right? Oh, what a web we weave when .....I have been through an audit with IRS (they choose randomly, you know) and if I were her, don’t think I would want to do that. What a mess!
    Always have felt they were more politics than beneficial. nm
    nm
    For me, I felt I could type much faster than
    the voice recognition.  It does take several weeks/a month for you to train your voice on the software, if you do it religiously, that is speaking and speaking to get it trained.  I found typing was much more efficient.  And yes, you can listen to files in Express Scribe and then "speak" the words and it will type them, but until it is fully trained, I don't think you will see much benefit.  Also, Word has speech tools that I used instead of buying Dragon, and it works just the same without spending all that money.  I would say give it a try and see if it works for you.  All of us are different and have different preferences.  You may end up liking it and it works well for you.  You just never know unless you try it out. 
    Just because someone gives a different POV does not make them a troll. nm
